how do bilstein and KW compare
Hurdy:
I've looked a little more into the options between KW clubsports and Bilstein B16's. The Bilsteins are much, much easier to set up and adjust between damping settings and this is what I am after. I've still to have it confirmed that the Whiteline adjustable top mounts won't be an issue with them, but I'm hopeful. If it turns out hey are okay then this will be my weapon of choice with a full corner weight set up and alignment :happy2:

Do the bilsteins come with their own top mounts or do they utilise the std top mounts? if they use the std ones you should be ok.
Are the Whiteline Top mounts camber and caster adjustable or just camber?
Hurdy:
The whiteline top mounts adjust both camber and castor, but getting anyone to confirm if they work with Bilsteins is like trying to hold onto an eel in water :sad1:

Just a point to add Hurdy, i am sure you know this, you cant adjust the the camber in the same way you will be able to adjust the dampening on the Billies. You need a camber measure tool and somebody who knows how to adjust the other settings to suit. :happy2:

Yeah, I'd get it set up professionally as DIY adjustment isn't advised :happy2:
